The most interesting question you can ask about any character is not what do they want. it's what do they believe they deserve. because those two things are almost never the same and the gap between them is where your entire story lives. a person can want love completely and believe they don't deserve it and that belief will destroy every good thing that comes toward them in ways they won't even notice they're doing. write the gap. the gap is the character.

DONT TALK TO ME

Punishment, worship, they are doomed. Daniel being broken by Armand. That sounds insane, sign me up!

As was foretold. Assad Zaman as Armand is Verrocchio's David, as intended by God and Anne Rice

Analyzing the politics of a work that's meant to be apolitical is actually a really interesting exercise because it asks you to critically examine what the creator considers to be "political" in the first place. Which ideas are just How Things Are, and which ones are Political, and how is that influenced by the creator's beliefs?

Usually this just ends up with you looking like a moron btw

Angrily lashing out at the suggestion that it's possible to do basic media analysis was foundational to the ragebait ecosystem of the 2010s, from which we got basically the entire culture of modern far right politics, btw.

I genuinely believe myself and others are being so sincere and literal when we say TOUCH GRASS

I went outside and got an education, that's where I learned that you can obtain knowledge and insight through analytical methods, then noticed that some people who sit on the internet yelling at strangers get really mad about that constantly.

Don’t make me point to the Omar Sakar poem

Armand keeps Daniel like a pet. And says so.

Make it full of madness.

Inviting journalist and author Daniel Molloy to your house to write your story, referring throughout to "our readers", and then turning around and saying "I didn't consent to you publishing a book about me" is the most ldpdl behaviour ever I love him

[armandyke]

Literally using Claudia's private diaries to tell his own story and then acting hard done by because the book now has personal consequences for him ohhhh louweeee you're the worst
